Publisher's Summary

Please note: This content is not for kids. It is for mature audiences only. Just like the original graphic novels, this audio adaptation contains explicit language and graphic violence, as well as strong sexual content and themes. Discretion is advised.

Enter the Dreaming again as the blockbuster audio adaptation of “the greatest epic in the history of comic books” continues in The Sandman: Act II. James McAvoy returns to voice Morpheus, the Lord of Dreams, in this sequel to the number-one New York Times audio best seller. Journey into a world of myths, imagination, and terror based on the best-selling DC comic books and graphic novels written by Neil Gaiman (returning as the Narrator), and lose yourself in another groundbreaking, immersive drama adapted and directed by the award-winning audio master Dirk Maggs.

In the absolutely packed Act II, the dark fantasy resumes and the Sandman expands into the French Revolution, ancient Rome, 19th-century San Francisco, eighth-century Baghdad, and beyond. New and familiar characters abound, voiced by a bright mix of performers, including Kat Dennings, Regé-Jean Page, Emma Corrin, Michael Sheen, Kristen Schaal, Brian Cox, John Lithgow, Jeffrey Wright, and so many more, including fan-favorite narrators Simon Vance and Ray Porter.

Just close your eyes and listen again as the greatest epic continues.

Act II of the audio series The Sandman adapts collected volumes four (Season of Mists) and five (A Game of You) of the comics in their entirety, and most of volume six (Fables & Reflections).

A really good follow up

The Sandman Volume 2 still has the same dark, gritty and fantastical elements like it's predecessor.

Made me feel

can be very dark, Neil Gaimans narration is excellent as is almost all the voice actors, a very well put together set of short stories (some of which aren't exactly short, which is always nice) overall a very nice book and a great addition to the first book

Amazing!

Like the first Sandman audible production, this is so much more than an audiobook.

The production quality was amazing and the stories were as dark and mysterious as you would expect from the amazing Neil Gaiman. I'm so glad they did a second one! Here's hoping for a third!

A must listen audio drama

As good as the first one, the cast is impeccable, the soundscapes draw you into the fantastical world of the Sandman and his siblings. Looking forward to the next outing

Different to act 1 but still great

More fables and less about Dream than Act 1, but still great stories. Vividly told and beautifully produced.

Another fantastical ride through dreams

From the start if act 1 I had been dragged and immersed into the fantastical world of Neil Gaiman. This story is perfectly brought to life by amazing artists such as Dirk Maggs, James Hannigan, Neil Gaiman, Ray Porter, Kat Dennings and The King of Dreams himself James McCavoy.

Instantly immersed by the sound design and the music by James Hannigan. Once the characters start it is a non-stop thrill ride of emotions. Happy, scared, sad and loved. All this just enveloped me. I was dragging finishing this so I wouldn't have to wait long for act 3. But being torn by wanting to finish and wanting to drag out was the hardest decision about this.

I Highly recommend on all accounts of directing, story, performance. Altogether just a perfect escape from reality.
